- Ruth seems to be very rude, but he is actually a rough and delicate person.
His thoughts are very different from what he looks like.
"If you make a judgment about him based on his appearance, you are making a mistake.
Although he is a fanatical believer, he understands the principles of life.
Jenny wanted to explore some issues about the concession, which in Ruth's opinion were completely unnecessary.
They have nothing to do with the concession, so it makes no sense to explore this issue.
¡°And it is certain that there are secrets in the concession. If they know too much, it may not be a good thing.
However, Ruth knew that there was nothing he could do to persuade Jenny.
Because based on his understanding of Jenny, he knew very well that Jenny, a girl, actually has a strong curiosity.
It seems that every girl has this kind of curiosity.
So, there is no way to control this.
In this way, Ruth could only watch helplessly as Jenny grabbed a worker who was walking past her, and then began to question him.
"Please wait a moment, can I ask some questions? It won't take you long."
Jenny asked after stopping the man.
The man who was stopped by Jenny was probably in his fifties and not very young anymore.
However, he still seems to be in pretty good shape.
This may have something to do with European genes.
At this age, they often look very strong.
This aspect is obviously different from that of Easterners.
In the East, in an era like this, people in their fifties already look very old.
In terms of physical fitness, there is really no way for Easterners to compare with Europeans.
The man looked at Jenny and swept his eyes. When he guessed that Jenny might have walked out of the concession service tent, his expression relaxed obviously, and the original impatience disappeared.
You know, when working in the concession, they have to work very hard to make money.
Things like laziness should never happen.
"Otherwise, their job here will be gone.
¡°Jenny calling him like this will have a great impact on his work.
If he hadn¡¯t guessed that Jenny might have something to do with the concession, then he wouldn¡¯t have given Jenny a good look at all.
Jenny didn¡¯t know these things. She looked at the other party seriously and asked, ¡°Are you residents near Marseille?¡±
The man nodded. He didn¡¯t know why the girl stopped him, but he still answered Jenny¡¯s question patiently.
"Yes, I am a resident of Marseille."
Jenny continued to ask: "But how did you come to work here? I know Marseille also has a big port. Isn't it more convenient to work there than here? And there will be a lot of work in Marseille Port, right?"
Jenny was very strange about this.
The man looked at Jenny, and then replied: "It's good to have jobs in Marseille Port, but the jobs here are more profitable. Moreover, wages will not be deducted when working here, and the settlement will never be in arrears, so we are willing to come here to find jobs." The most important thing is that after paying our wages in the concession, we can buy grain and non-staple food items that are half the price of the market and take them home, which is something we cannot have when we work in the Port of Marseille."
Jenny was a little confused, she only understood half of what was said.
"Why is the food here half cheaper than in Marseille?" Jenny was very puzzled by this question, but she now understands why the other person came to work here.
After all, the other party made it very clear that they can earn more money working here than in Marseille, and at the same time, they don¡¯t have to be deducted.
Jenny, who has lived in continental Europe for more than ten years and has been to many countries, is quite clear about these things.
¡°This is not just the case in Marseille, but also in other places in Europe.
If people are looking for a job, they must have an introducer.
Or, join a local guild.
This guild is not like the guilds of later generations. It is a gang organization similar to the underworld, but it is named after a guild.
Speaking of guilds, they actually appeared as early as the Roman era.
It just evolved slowly and finally became a gathering?An organization of hooligans and ruffians.
If you want to find a job, it is definitely impossible to bypass such an organization.
Therefore, a large part of the daily wages must be squeezed out by the other party.
This is not the worst thing. The most uncomfortable thing is that after you have worked hard for a day, you find that your employer has not paid you the wages as agreed. This is the most annoying thing. matter.
Often at this time, the guild will come forward to help everyone ask for wages.
If the guild really does this, then it can be considered a good thing.
However, things often don¡¯t develop like this.
After the guild comes forward, they will pretend to argue with the employer, but in the end they will still favor the employer and bully the workers.
By that time, if they don¡¯t get paid, they will be scolded and beaten by the guild.
This kind of thing happens often on the European continent, and people have become accustomed to and accepted such rules.
Now, workers are needed in the concession, and there are no guilds, so the wages are sufficient.
¡°In this way, those who are capable and willing to do things will of course be willing to come and work here.
At the same time, the price of goods in the concession is lower than half of the market price. This is because the concession reached an agreement with the French government to attract more workers to do work.
This agreement states that the goods in the concession are only supplied to the workers who work in the concession.
¡° Anyone who does not work in the concession cannot enjoy this kind of preferential treatment.
After all, the French government has to consider this matter and the impact it will have on business if it is not controlled.
The concession area is also very aware of this issue.
¡°However, if it only targets a small group of people, the French government still won¡¯t have much objection.
In this way, people who come to work in the concession enjoy the benefits of this small group of people and receive benefits.
Nowadays, prices in Europe are soaring, especially the prices of food remain high.
Grain merchants in various places are also driving up prices and are unwilling to lower prices, so people can only buy high-priced grains.
After all, people always have to eat. If you don¡¯t eat, you won¡¯t be able to survive.
No one is born without wanting to live.
Therefore, no matter how difficult life is, people still have to live.
Jenny only knew a few things, but she couldn't know too clearly about some of the complicated situations behind it.
After hearing this, the other party smiled: "Because we work here in the concession, the price of the concession will be a big discount for people like us. You must know that not everyone can enjoy this kind of discount, only if you give Only those who work in the concession can enjoy it. If they don¡¯t work here in the concession, it is impossible for them to enjoy this kind of price discount.¡±
When Jenny mentioned this issue, the man's face suddenly lit up, making his whole body glow with glory, as if his fatigue had been swept away.
"There are a certain number of people employed here in the concession every day, and those who perform poorly on the first day will be recorded and will not be used again the next day. Therefore, everyone works very seriously here for fear of losing their job. This is a good opportunity. After all, the money given here is very fair, and at the same time we can also enjoy the opportunity to buy cheap food, which is very rare."
??Middle-aged people tell the truth, and there is nothing to hide in these things.
Jenny listened carefully to the man's story, and she felt full of understanding.
Roughly speaking, she guessed the purpose of the concession and some of the benefits it might gain from it.
First of all, by doing this in the concession, it can completely attract a large number of manpower to come here to look for jobs, thereby solving their employment problem.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????
Therefore, this approach can keep everyone unwilling to leave.
However, among these people there will inevitably be some people who fish in troubled waters. They are passive when working, or they are lazy for a long time.
For such a guy, the concession must be cleared out, and it is impossible to use it again.
This is why the employment system in the concession is very strict.
The concession welcomes hard-working and honest people, those who are sneaky and sneaky, the concession?It won't be used at all.
¡°Moreover, I¡¯m afraid that their rat shit will ruin such a good environment.
This is why men say they won¡¯t use it the next day if it doesn¡¯t perform well.
Weeding out those people who don¡¯t work hard not only scares the monkeys, but also makes honest people have some scruples after seeing them, making them work harder.
It can be said that it is something that can be accomplished in one fell swoop.
Therefore, it¡¯s better not to do it.
It has to be said that the administrative staff of the concession have put a lot of effort into the construction and employment of the concession.
"I think your complexion is very good, completely different from other people. And it seems that the people working here in the concession are all very energetic. What is going on?"
Jenny asked another question that made him curious and puzzled.
When this question was brought up, the proud look on the man¡¯s face became even stronger.
In addition to pride, Jenny even saw confidence and longing for future life on his face.
This is completely different from the numbness, despair and indifference towards the future on the faces of the French people outside the concession.
Jenny is very strange, why do people change like this after having relationships with people from the Song Empire? (To be continued.
